About the Project

Lawn and gardens will surround an inner plaza where there will be colorful tables with umbrellas as well as uniquely designed seating for people to sit and enjoy the outdoors. For people who want to be more active, there will be a multiuse recreation area to use for a variety of outdoor games.

The County entered into a lease agreement with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in May 2013 for use of a vacant portion of their property. The term for the lease is for a minimum of two years with the option to extend the lease. Because the park is an interim park, the County will be using building materials reclaimed from other areas of the County and purchase furnishings which can be transferred to another park in the future.
